The cost of the adoption covers rabies/distemper shots, deworming, a flea treatment, and the placement of an RFID, as well as the usual spay/neuter. We had passed a farm earlier in the week with a sign, "Free Kittens"; it was only by doing the calculations of all the eventual costs that made it possible to resist.

Last Monday, June 13 2022, I attended a recital of the spring class of Jazz music students, under…read morethe tutelage of Carol McLaughlin. I decided to Yelp the event and was surprised to see that the Community Music School of Buffalo has not changed their address here. So my intention with this post is twofold: to let people know about the availability of jazz classes for all ages at CMS; to make the new location evident. It was a delightful evening, held indoors this year, and included a mostly solo piece by Mr. McLaughlin. The first link is a brief clip of Watermelon Man by the class. In the "read more" section there is a longer video of Carol McLaughlin's performance. The second link is the home page of the Community Music School's new location. https://youtu.be/3s9FrTosK_c https://communitymusicbuffalo.org/our-new-location/

Another great meal! am disappointed that the most recent review, prior to this one, is from over 6…read moremonths ago. Yelpers, why aren't you supporting this business? Anyway, a chilly, windy day was perfect for enjoying their hearty chili, and it was hearty! The squash was so tasty with cranberries and pecans: a creative and successful combination. Beans were good, too not too spicy or too sweet. I was too full to enjoy my oatmeal butterscotch cookie, so I brought it home with me and enjoyed it later; clearly not a store-bought cookie. Service with smiles...

I have both volunteered and eaten here, and both were excellent!…read more The meal that I had was delicious, and obviously made with love. I appreciated that I could choose how much I wanted, both to eat and to pay. Signing up to volunteer was easy through the online portal and I could tell that I was helping with what needed to get done. The location is accessible - by bike, car, walking, and bus (route 3, Grant) - and the inside is warm and welcoming. Will definitely come back when I am free for lunch during the week!

We stopped in for a late lunch on a weekday. I was too shy to dance in as the sign suggested, so I…read moredidn't get 50% off my drink. But several local patrons did their dance and got their discount! Our food was great, even so late in the afternoon. Loved the homey farmhouse look, and the nooks and crannies where you could sit and read. I even talked the retired professor into giving me an author recommendation! Mick Herron.

NOT RECOMMENDED! Went there with my wife and family for a…read moresurprise for mother's day gift. Since we adopted two brothers last year from them. This time, the service and attitude from the older volunteer staff was very rude and challenging. After we expressed which cat we're interested in and then said that she's bonded with another, so we would have to get both. They asked how many cats we have (understandable question), I replied the two brothers. My son has one (unrelated from the brothers) and will be moving out this summer. The older volunteer staff then stated, "well maybe you should wait and see what happens" with her attitude... What does that mean!? Who the hell are they to tell me what's best for my family! So we left with a disappointed wife. One thing is for sure, they did not like me asking questions about any treatments, diseases or medical conditions on record. The living conditions is subpar. It is filthy, smells horrible and I would question if there are too many animals inside that small building. Maybe the Human Society of Greater Niagara or Niagara SPCA or even the Town of Pendleton should be contacted to check on things...

My daughter fell in love with a cat this past weekend while we were donating food. We applied to…read moreadopt him and were initially told we were approved but when we showed up to take him home they denied us because we told them we don't typically give canned food. Not that it was off the table just that it's not typical for us. There was no discussion it was an automatic decline and my daughter was devastated. I was so sad for her and the cat. I have owned cats for over 20 years and worked in the vet industry for over 6 years. I am appalled that they didn't trust us and left my daughter crying. To say we were approved and then to deny us when we showed up was absolutely cruel and they should be ashamed of themselves. This is not how a rescue operation should run and I will absolutely never support them again.
